What's Under Antarctica's Ice

Antarctica looks like a blank white map. It isn't. Under up to four kilometers of ice there's a whole hidden world: Lake Vostok, a giant sea sealed off for 15 million years; the Gamburtsev Mountains, an entire Alps-sized range buried in ice; 675 hidden lakes connected by underground rivers; 50,000 meteorites including a piece of Mars; and the reason NASA treats Antarctica as a rehearsal stage for the alien ocean of Europa.
